"Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." — "Warren Buffett"
If Donald Trump's statements historically move traditional markets, their impact on the cryptocurrency universe has been equally explosive. Just like in the stock market (Fiat), where his words have already benefited great fortunes, in the crypto world, his tweets and positions have triggered sudden spikes and steep declines — rewarding the boldest investors.
The Suspicious Timing and Bold Bets
Just hours before announcing measures that boosted the market, Trump had already encouraged the public to "buy stocks en masse." The perfect timing raised suspicions of manipulation, with analysts suggesting it could be a move to favor political allies and major investors.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, history repeats itself:
- Bitcoin and Trump: When the former president criticized CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) and defended Bitcoin as a store of value, the price of the cryptocurrency surged.
- Dogecoin and the Memecoins: His statements about "people's coins" have already caused sharp movements in speculative assets.
Investigation and Manipulation?
Just as Senator "Elizabeth Warren" demanded investigations into possible manipulations in the traditional market, regulators are keeping an eye on the effects of influential figures' statements on cryptocurrencies. After all:
- Who profited before the announcements?
- Major whales in the crypto market were positioned before the explosive statements?
The Market in High Tension
While the Fiat market lives under the specter of monetary policies and authorities' statements, the crypto universe reacts in real time — without regulatory brakes. For investors, the lesson is clear:
- Opportunities arise in chaos, but the risk of manipulation is real.
- Those who bet heavily during moments of panic (whether in stocks or Bitcoin) reaped significant profits.
The question that remains is: Is Trump and his allies just riding the volatility... or creating it?
The traditional market and crypto are more connected than ever — and Trump's controversies prove it.
